Keir Axes Mandelson: US Visit Now Epstein Approved?
In a plot twist juicier than a leftover kebab, on September 11, 2025, Sir Keir Starmer dropped Peter Mandelson like a hot potato from his ambassador gig to the USâjust as Number 10 was polishing the silverware for Donald Trump's upcoming state visit. The Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty broke the news, confirming that Peter's departure is a 'huge blow' to UK diplomacy. Meanwhile, Trump himself, juggling his own tangled friendship with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, might be feeling the late-summer political heatwave too. Talk about timing â Brexit had drama, but this politics party brings all the subtweeting action to Westminster this week!

Starmer shows Mandelson the door days before Trump strolls over, proving UK politics is basically a reality show where everyone forgot the script and Epsteinâs name is the cliffhanger.
Removing Mandelson now feels like pulling a bad plot twist mid-seasonâexcept this oneâs got state visits and Epsteinâs shadow lurking backstage.
Keirâs diplomatic sacking skills are apparently 'timely,' like ejecting the party guest whoâs a bigger headline than the visiting president.
